My 325i Motorsport - Have a look and see what do you think?

Hi Everybody, I bought this motorsport less than a week ago.
Tell me what you think of it. In my opinion, it needs tidying up:
The leathers need recolonising.
The power roof is not working either at the moment - a few relays are missing.
So I would like to ask all you e30 zone members:
Any good place to get my seats, door cards and centre console recolonised (Hopefully not an expensive place lol)
Secondly, if any of you guys have a motorsport with power hood (with hydraulics not electric motors), you could possibly give me advice on it.
I am putting a few pictures up.
I will appreciate any comments - whether they are good or bad.
I will be putting alpinas on it by next week, so there will be updated pictures in a week time or so.
Many Thanks.

Hi
Saw this advertised in a few places.
Did you buy this car in East London?
Was cheap if I remember correctly.
Enjoy!

Hi Ryan,
Yes I did give Eugene a ring, sounded like a genuine helpful guy.
I might go to manchester to let him have a look at the car.

Yes mate, I did buy it from east london.
It was relatively cheap. But it is a cat C plus no service history at all. But the engine is mint and it a genuine motorsport, got BMW to confirm it. It just needs a bit of tidying up to make it completely mint, but nothing major.

Hello mate,
Thanks for your comment, the website is
www.benchmarkleather.com.
But unfortunately, none of their phone numbers including mobile numbers are in working order at the moment.
So I will have to give them a ring again later.
Thanks for giving me the website address.

Hello mate, thanks for your help.
But I couldn't find their contact details on the internet, did a few searches on google.co.uk, but no joy.
Could you be kind enough to get me a number for them. Thanks
